The ancient gods have vanished ...
Did they ever exist ?
Who knew them then ?
Who knows them now?
Buried into the vastness of
consciousness and unconsciousness...
They have gone.
Unbidden and uncared for...
The new gods were born ...
They were invoked ...
Created by fertile minds in feeble bodies...
Fed on by thoughts and invocations
and fueled by desires of mortals...
Until the crying prayers of million minds
made them powerfully weak.
Where are the new gods now?
Who speaks their tongue?
The pseudo priests and the holy men ?
The new age thinkers ?
Or none?
If a man was a little saner
His God would know what to do .
But then if man was saner ...
would he create a god at all ?
and they fight and they burn...
in the name of the forgotten gods
quoting verses from books long gone...
Will the spirits of the old and new gods
awake from their slumber ?
They will. Or then maybe they will not.
